  • Beachfront site in Laredo, less than an hour from Bilbao and Santander
  • A 15-minute walk from a resort centre for horse riding and watersports
  • Facilities for cyclists and easy access to bike routes
Folk seeking a Spanish seaside stay or a stopover while meandering along the coast between Bilbao and Santander, take a peek at this place. Camping Playa El Regatón is a splendid spot in lovely Laredo, slap bang between the two cities and less than an hour’s drive from each. It’s not just about the proximity to urban wanderings here though – this Cantabria site is also right on the beachfront, giving guests excellently easy access to a stretch of sand and the calm waters of the Treto river. A 15-minute walk away is the centre of the resort, with another gorgeous golden beach, watersports and riding centres, and heaps of restaurants and shops. Life on site is pretty chilled too… Mature trees all around provide pitches with a bit of shade and privacy, and there are plenty of useful facilities – a playground, table tennis and kids’ club should keep the tiddlers happy, while gadget addicts will be chuffed to hear that the wifi service stretches across much of the site. Eats are easily sorted too at the on-site café, or by heading to the barbecue area with bits from the mini market. This is a particularly fab choice for those of you travelling on two wheels – stop off here to be close to lots of cycle routes as well as being able to use the site’s handy bike-friendly facilities, including a safe storage area, a workshop for running repairs and a launderette to freshen your pedalling togs.

Local attractions

Laredo’s well known in Spain for its gorgeous beach, a five-kilometre sheltered sandy swathe with a backdrop of wooded hills. Take your pick from relaxing times sunbathing and swimming or getting active by galloping along the beach on horseback, taking surfing or paddleboarding lessons or suiting up for a scuba dive. Away from the main beach, it’s 20 minutes' drive to the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Natural Park to go in search of migrating birds. Or you could potter in the Puebla Vieja, Laredo’s medieval quarter, to see houses dating back to the 16th century. Day trips to Bilbao and Santander are highly recommended from here too, of course – don’t miss the Palacio de La Magdalena in Santander, or the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Power optional grass site

Liked Location is wonderful in the estuary with mountains in the background and lovely beach walks. Nice little bar and cafe and also small shop. Showers and loos well though out and very clean.

Disliked Pitches very close together but under lovely shade of the trees and although the site was full it was not noisy.
